[Verse 1] Don't you look at me that way. I can feel your eyes burning holes in my skin. You think you know what's going on in my head? You have no idea where I've been. I've got a short fuse and a history of biting back. [Pre-Chorus] And yeah, I walk around with my teeth showing. A constant, low growl stuck in my throat. It keeps everyone else at a distance. It’s the only way I’ve ever known how to cope. [Chorus] But I just want to be your lapdog. I just want you to scratch behind my ears. Let me curl up at the foot of your bed. And I’ll make all your other fears disappear. [Verse 2] I've pushed and I've fought for every inch of my ground. Built my own cage and called it a throne. There’s a bitterness here that I’ve gotten used to. This angry kind of tired, right down to the bone. And I still feel the urge to snap at any hand that gets too close. [Chorus] But I just want to be your lapdog. I just want you to scratch behind my ears. Let me curl up at the foot of your bed. And I’ll make all your other fears disappear. [Bridge] Tell me I'm a good boy. Tell me to stay, and I won't move an inch. Wrap your fingers in my collar, I don't care if it's tight. Just give me a place that feels like home. A little bit of warmth in the long, cold night. [Break] [Chorus] God, I just want to be your lapdog. Let me hear you say my name. Let me rest my head on your knee. And I’ll forget why I was ever so untamed. [Outro] Just a puppy at your feet. That's all I want to be. Loyal and listening for your call. Is that so much to ask for?
